Turn automatic line selection on or off

When this feature is turned on and the telephone is off hook, it automatically connects to a pre-selected line. Lines are prioritized in the following order: ringing primary, ringing non-primary, idle primary, idle non-primary, and busy primary.

Ringing primary: When the primary line is set to Line 1 and Line 1 is ringing, Line 1 is automatically connected. Ringing non-primary: When the primary line is set to Line 1 and Line 1 is idle while Line 2 is ringing, Line 2 is automatically connected.

Idle primary: When the primary line is set to Line 1 and both lines are idle, Line 1 is automatically connected. Idle non-primary: When the primary line is set to Line 1 and Line 1 is busy while Line 2 is idle, Line 2 is automatically connected.

Busy primary: When the primary line is set to Line 1 and Line 1 and Line 2 are busy, Line 1 is automatically connected.

NOTE: The same logic applies if the primary line is set to Line 2.
